HIGH GRADE COFFEE Black Coffee 1 1 Sifter Dinner I Chase & Sanborn's High Qrade Coffee bring9 the climax of the sensation of having dined well. The clear color and delicate aroma are unequalled. This is from the care taken in selec­ tion and blending. W. C. EVANSON, WEST McHENRY, ILL. Itorr'aa' Chief Justice Story attended a pub­ lic dinner iu Boston at which Edward Everett was resent. Desiring to pay a delicate compliment to the latter, the learned judge proposed aa a volunteer toast: "Fame follows merit where Everett goes."

"Does your wife go in for athletics?" "Um--yes, in a way. She went out yesterday U take exercise; said she was going to walk up a long hill." "And did she?" "No; she got Into the dry goods dis­ trict and ran up a long bill Instead. Yon can easily see that 1 am the one who was exercised." -- Kansas City Journal. ianrcrcd. I heard a good story the other day about a matrimonial agency. An elder­ ly man had three daughters who ruled him with a rod of iron. Weary of their tyranny, he advertised in a paper for a wife. Next day he received three re­ plies--one from each of the daughter!. --Exchamre. Don't forget the "want ad"eolnmn! ' - ' a a Wife. Ih. Uganda a man can buy a some wife for four bulls, a box of car­ tridges and six needles, and If he has the luck to go a-woolng when woman happens to be a drug on the market he can buy a suitable damsel for a pair of shoes. A Kaffir girl is worth, according to the rank of her family, from four to ten cows, and In Tartary no father will surrender his daughter unless he gets a good quantity of but­ ter in return, and in certain parts of India no girl can marry unless her fa­ ther has been pacified by a present of rice and a few rupees. > Water oa Battleship*. As nearly us possible 8.000 gallons of fresh water are used in a large battle­ ship daily. About two-thirds of this is taken up by the boilers, and the re­ mainder is used for drinking, washing, cooking, etc. When the store which she has taken out with her from port has been used up a vessel has to de­ pend upon her evaporators for furtner supplies. Every modern warship is fitted with evaporatHig machinery to distity the salt sea water. W-i W- U 3 ' •- -P % for Health 222 South Peoria 8L. CHICAGO, III., Oct 7,1902. Eight months ago I was «o ill that I was compelled to lie or sit down nearly all the time. My stomach was BO weak and upset that I could keep nothing on it and I vomited frequently. I could not urinate without great pain and I coughed so much that my throat ana lunge were raw and sore. The doctors pro­ nounced it Bright'? disease and others said it was consumption. It mattered little to me ^rhat they called it and-1 had so de­ sire to live. A sister visited me from St. Louis and asked me if I had ever tried Wine of Cardui. I told her I had not and she bought- a bottle- I believe that it caved my life. I believe many women could save mticb suffer­ ing if they but knew of its Tains. Don't you want freedom from pain? Take Wine of Cardui and make one supreme effort to be well. You do not need to be a weak, helpless sufferer. Too can have a woman's health and do a woman's work in life. Why not secure a bottle ot Wine ot Cardui from your druggist to­ day? WIN&CARDUI No Barm Don*.

An English farmer had a number of guests to dinner and was about to help them to some rabbit when be discov­ ered that the dish was cold. Calling the servant be exclaimed, "Here, Mary, take this rabbit out and 'eat It and bring It back a little 'otter!" A Slander. The Lady--I gave you a piece of pie last week, and you've been sending your friends here ever since. The Tramp -- You're mistaken, lady. Them was my enemies.--Judge. Economical. "Doesn't it cost you a good deal to run this yacht old man?" "Yes. but my wife can't spend a cent when she's here." Mysterious Cirgunistance. One was pale and sallow and the o'her fresh and rosy.

Nature through the active agency of the rains, winds and even the dust sometimes performs wonderful things in the strange fashioning of the ob­ durate stone Into forms resembling the human face. On the very summit of Mount Tamalpals, a lofty peak that stands about twelve miles from the city of San Francisco. Is a most re­ markable profile wrought in the solid stone. Just a few minutes' walk from the end of the railroad that leads up to the mountain's summit, on the trail that circles the crest of ±he peak, brings one to the Old Lady berself. This huge natural sphinx seems to guard the path where It narrows on a rocky ledge. The profile Is perfect The seams and creases made by the centuries of weather are like lines of care and age worn In the human face. No one. bow- ever aged in our worldly years, can re­ member when the Old Lady was young. However, wbeb one passes far­ ther along the path and looks back­ ward the outline of the wrinkled visage is lost and Instead the eye can dimly trace the features of a woman young and as beautiful aa an %yptias princess. . Tendttnejr of the YIIUM. The tendency of medical science is toward preventive measures. The bast thought of the world is being given to the subject. It is easier and better to prevent than to oure. It has been fully demonstrated thai pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medi­ cal men have to contend with, can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia al ways re­ sults from a cold or an attack of infln enza(grip), and it has been observed that this remedy counteracts any ten­ dency of these diseases toward pneu monia. This has I een fully proven in many thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of oolds and grip in recent years, and oan be relied upon with im plioit confidence. Pneumonia often re­ sults from a slight cold when no danger is apprehended until it is suddenly dis- oove ed that there is fever and difficul­ ty in breathing and pains in the Jhest, then it is announced that the patient has pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take Ch • in ber Iain's Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is contracted. It al­ ways cures. For sale by all druggists He Had Alone? Before. Colonel Carr was traveling in New Mexico once, when he ran into a party consisting of Senator Tabor and his friends. It was only a few months aft­ er Tabor bad "struck It rich." Prior to that event be bad possessed scarcely enough to buy a postage stamp, but he was making up for lost time. Carr had lost his watcb key and be­ gan inquiring for one. Mr. Tabor thought this a great Joke. "The idea of a man wanting a watch key in the nineteenth century!" be said. After chuckling over It for some time be turned to Carr and asked an explana­ tion. "I want to understand It--a watcb key! And a man as up to date as yon?" "Well, the fact is." responded the colonel, "I had enough money to buy a watcb before stem winders came into fashion." It was a center shot and was greeted by a roar from the entire car. Tabor got off by buying champagne tor the crowd. A Thonund Dollnra Thrown Awaty. "My wife had lung troubles for over fifteen years," writes Mr. W. W. Baker of Plainview.^Netx "We tried a num« ber of doctors and spent over a thous­ and dollars without any relief. She was very low and I lost all hope, when a friend suggested trying Foley's Hon­ ey and Tar, which I did; and thanks be to this great remedy it saved her life. She is stronger and enjoys better health than she has known in ten years. We shall never be without Foley's Honev and Tar and would ask those afflicted to try it." The prevention of consump­ tion is entirely a question of commenc­ ing the proper treatment in tipae. Nothing is so well adapted to ward off fatal lung troubles as Foley's Honey and Tar. Sold by G. W. Beeley, West McHenry. Aa Intelligent Bird, A species of woodpecker inhabit*, the driest parts of Mexico, where during the droughts It must die of starvation unless it made a store. To prevent this it selects the hollow stem of a species of aloe, the bore of which Is just large enough to hold a nut. The woodpecker drills holes at Intervals in the stem and fills it from bottom to top with the nuts, the separate holes being apparent­ ly made for convenience of access to the column of nuts within. The Intelligence which not only con­ structs a special storehouse, but teaches the woodpecker to lay by only the nuts, which ><wlll keep, and not the Insects, which would decay, Is perhaps the highest form of bird reasoning which ha* yet been observed. Better than Got& "I was troubled for several years with chronic indigestion and q^rvous debil­ ity," writes F. J. Green, of Lancaster, N. H. "No remedy helped me until I began using Electric Bitters, which did me more good than all the medicines I ever used. They have also kept my wife in excellent health for years. She says Electric Bitters are just splendid for female troubles; that they are a grand tonic and invigorator for weak, ran down women. No other medicine can take its place in our family." Try them.
